About the Middle Permian or more than 200 million years ago, an extensive sea stretched along the latitude presently occupied by the Himalaya. Into this geosynclinal sea known as the Tethys (daughter of the Ocean) was depostited vast quantities of sediments from the northern Angara (Eurasian) and southern Gondwana (Indian) land mass. The Initial mountain building process started seventy million years ago when the Gondwana plate and Angara plate began to converge and collide. The sea-bed was folded and raised into longitudinal ridges and valleys. This Upper Cretaceous uplift was the first spasm of Himalayan orogeny.</FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.coloradocollege.edu/Dept/GY/faculty/wphillips/Mountains.html"><FONT size="+4">EXAMINING THE HIMALAYAS</FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.coloradocollege.edu/Dept/GY/faculty/wphillips/Mountains.html"><FONT size="-1">by: Claire Zimmerman</FONT></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/649B1FA7-A12D-4F0F-89EF-3E099B88B548/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
